Amount awarded: £150,000 over 3 years (£50k per year)
What the fund is about: The Building Healthy and Sustainable Communities fund supports and develops community initiatives in areas where there are poorer healthcare outcomes. For this 3-year funding, the specific area was Wakefield City Centre including Portobello, Belle Vue and Agbrigg. Grants were available for VCSE work that improves health and wellbeing, connects with communities and reduces health inequalities. Funding was awarded to organisations well placed to support those most likely to experience health inequalities.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available for VCSE organisations to support the priorities in the Police and Crime Plan, including safer places and thriving communities.
This new grant round will support projects that enable people to access food, create opportunities for young people, improve people’s mental wellbeing, promote community cohesion and build sustainable futures.
The Young Women in Mind programme aims to help improve the mental health of women aged 16-25. Grants go to organisations that increase young women’s access to high quality, age and gender specific mental health services.
